Kingdom Revealed

In the opening pages of Scripture, we are invited into a story far greater than we often realize. Kingdom Revealed explores Genesis chapters 1 and 2, uncovering the profound truths hidden in the familiar story of creation. Rather than a simple record of beginnings, these chapters reveal a magnificent portrait of the world as God’s cosmic temple — a sacred space where heaven and earth meet, and where His presence is meant to dwell with His creation.

Throughout this course, we will look deeply at the grand design of creation, seeing how every detail reflects a purposeful and ordered world built for relationship and flourishing. We will explore the nature of the Elohim — the divine beings of God’s heavenly realm — and the unique calling given to humanity to serve as His imagers. Far more than mere caretakers of the earth, human beings are designed to reflect God’s character and reign alongside Him as His royal priesthood. This extraordinary partnership shows us the heart of God’s plan: not distant rule, but intimate collaboration with His creation.

As we move through Genesis 1 and 2, we will examine the themes of sacred space, divine presence, image-bearing, and priestly vocation. Each session will uncover how these early chapters establish the foundation for the entire biblical story, shaping our understanding of identity, purpose, and destiny. From the beauty of the ordered cosmos to the personal commission given to Adam and Eve, Kingdom Revealed will help you see how you are called into God’s ongoing work even today.

This course ‘Kingdom Revealed’ is based on the first series in an eight part series that breaks His Story into eight sections. The eight sections are: Kingdom Revealed, Kingdom Rebellion, Kingdom Covenant, Kingdom Foreshadowed, Kingdom Coming, Kingdom Incarnate, Kingdom Tension, and Kingdom Consummated.
